Disgraceful, stopping such videos around the internet is near impossible... and now allowing them (again) on a social networking website what children have access to however? unforgivable facebook, greedy fucking bastards just looking for that extra video to push adds on and around.

Shit like this must be stopped. I'm all for freedom of speech etc but we as users (of the internetz) must quit hurting ourselves with this crap or there will be repercussions in form of laws and regulations. And i don't think anyone wants that.

I thought the same about Star Trek academy, your basic teenage highschool tv show
No thank you on both Trekkie and Star Wars high school drama... we have enough of those as it is...
Doesn't really matter what the new movie will be about, it will draw traffic to the cinemas. Old folks like (most of) us and our young kids. We oldies want to see if the magic is back (which it never will be) and young folks seeing the stuff for the first time.

You're not really for freedom of speech then.
If you don't want to watch beheading videos don't watch them. Let the people who are interested look if they want to. It's something that's real and that happens in the world - I see no reason to hide from it. We used to hang and behead people in Britain in town squares, as mass participation events, and the world didn't end.
Watching a few videos on the internet isn't going to bring about the collapse of society.

You wouldn't show a beheading video on the news, why is Facebook held to a different standard? (If anything its worse on FB because such things can just pop up in your feed). I'm actually surprised Facebook will be allowed to do this for UK users; they're basically broadcasting snuff movies. I would have thought OFCOM would be all over this like a rash.
Edit. It occurs to me the other group who'll have something to say about this will be the advertisers; they'll just be fucking thrilled to have their ad for brand x next to someone having his head chopped off.

I would.
With a warning of what's coming up, I'd definitely show it. It's news.
Edit: And what's more, it treats us like adults. I want to know the reality of the world, not the "please! protect my tiny little mind from the nasty!" version.

All sites have rules though, you can't put dildo adverts on FH, so if FB let's, or doesn't, put up videos of kittybeheadings then it's their call.
Freedom of speech can go f*ck itself when it's "my house, my rules".

But we're not all adults. There's a long and established protocol for dealing with this stuff in print and television; the watershed is imperfect but it works well enough, and I can avoid watching the news when the kids are around, so I can do what the childless are always moaning about and I'm controlling the situation as a parent. But Facebook wouldn't protect you from this in any of its privacy settings, so if you have a 13 year old child you're faced with a binary choice; cut your kid off from their entire social group, or let them watch beheadings, there's no way to manage it at a more granular level. And to add insult to injury you currently have this bizarre situation where you show murder on Facebook if you "condemn it", but you can't show a breast-feeding mother's exposed nipple. That's just fucked up.

If that's the case, what are people moaning about then?
Because people have the right to do so
My personal opinion on the matter doesn't deduct from other peoples opinions

There shouldn't be any sort of beheading videos on Facebook because it will circulate so easy through the retarded share button. There's already 'porn' circulating on it now because of it. The share and tag features are some of the worst things to come out of Facebook.

That's the point tho. The good thing.
It's a hugely useful feature for people who use facebook for more than just swapping recipes or retarded videos of kittens - such as those who supported the Arab Spring.
Facebook says this:
Now, I don't for one second think that they're after anything other than profit - but the above remains true.
Good on 'em for not bowing to western sensibilities tbfh.

I wonder how this story will play out?
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24626422
Isnt it a bit simplistic to grab all fair haired children of gypsies? Most of us have a bit of viking somewhere in our makeup?
The other risk is dna tests are not always useful to determine paternity/maternity.
Theres a condition called chimerism where people have two sets of genetic code in their bodies. Depending on where you sample dna from you get the dna of apparently different people.
No-ones sure how high the incidence of it is in the general population because we generally only test blood or swabs.
There was a famous case in the states where a woman was told her child couldnt possibly be hers.

Either they prove that she was adopted, or otherwise legit, or they lose the kid. There's not much else to it.
People who have "aquired"(for lack of better word) kids in a legitimate way have nothing to worry.

In thr meantime they should be treated like any other folk. RAiding houses to check for possible kids is not.
Tbh Facebook has no business making decisions like this when they let kids 13 and over (iirc) sign up (and younger, hands up who never lied about their age when they were younger to achieve some goal or other). There's literally no way to stop kids seeing this stuff. They can always go to theync or liveleak or any of those other unpleasant corners of the net but Facebook is too mainstream a platform for these sorts of things.
